Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis slammed President Biden on Tuesday accusing him of prioritizing humanitarian aid to Gaza, which has reportedly been compromised by Hamas in the past, over rescuing American and Israeli hostages.

"Innocent Americans and Israelis are being held hostage by Hamas terrorists, yet Biden is more focused on sending ‘humanitarian aid’ to Gaza that will be commandeered by Hamas terrorists," the GOP presidential candidate posted on X Tuesday.  

"Biden should work with Israel to free all American and Israeli hostages, not shower Hamas with money."

The DeSantis post included a screenshot of a Reuters news article with the headline "US and Israel to develop aid plan for Gaza civilians, Blinken says."

 "Palestinian leadership is already bankrolling Hamas’ atrocities against Israel and Biden wants to send aid into Gaza that will further support terrorist activity," DeSantis said in a follow-up post. "As President, I wouldn’t send a single dollar into Gaza." Read more and see video here.
